Confess your 'niche' magazine subscriptions here?

[dragonbutter]

You know, like the ones they use on 'have i got news for you?'.

i'll go first.

i subscribe to 'Grout' magazine. it is published 3 times a year. It's about mosaics and the first copy i received had a picture of DH with DS1 in the backpack at the opening of an exhibition.

Ah, never met his dad - he is a jolly nice chap though.

Community care. its all about social work basicaly.

Skin & Ink. its about tattoo's.

British Archaeology Magazine.

Not very niche but terribly geeky (for those who think Time Team is dumbing down).

I love time team though.

My fave article of recent years was on how accurate the alters of various east Anglian churches are at facing East.

My DH was featured in January's issues of...wait for it..

Greenkeeper International

www.bigga.org.uk/magazine/2814/a-rich-history-and-optimistic-future.html

that he mentioned MacDonalds though!

I have also illustrated the front cover for New Law Journal a few times.

One brief required me to depict several elephants getting trapped on a planning application set up like a game of Mousetrap - all size A4 (WTF!).

lol @ your brief How did it turn out?

in the UK it was 'Clarinet and Saxophone MAgazine' and 'Winds'

nothing out of the usual here. DH gets bloody Gramophone sent over at vast expense though

[Here]

nice cover!
I've had some particularly fascinating articles and reviews published in Clarinet and Saxophone Mag.

not very geeky, but pretty sad ....we get Canal World - full of fascinating articles about the best inverters for your boat and the decline of the lesser spotted dibbler from our tow paths

Practical Poultry.

Fantastic cover, CWPL.

(Private Eye doesn't count, does it?)

That is great CWPL!

Aww, Thumbwitch! Be fair now! I was very impressed that such a lofty title was my first ever subscription (apart from a dubiously-chosen subscription to Glamour as a birthday present). Besides, dragonbutter let 'Psychologies' in, and you can get that everywhere! Pleeeeeease! I just... want... ...to belong!

Not sure that the food & style reference was about me...though I like the idea of being a stylish, glamorous foodie!

I'm okay, but GOT to start earning some money, which clearly tapping away on MN is not going to enable me to do. So I must away. How are you, me darl?

I get British Archaeology as I am interested in ancient stuff.

Practical Fishkeeping!

Good cover CPL - and I see we are both archaeology buffs.

Runners World
Vector (for DH)
White Dwarf (for DS)

I was 'in' scotlands runner when i was 11 storming to the finish line after a 1 mile race, the first girl to win, ever.

i think i peaked to early.

Practical Poultry and Dog mags here

oooh, OFTF - I used to get that when I had tropical fish!

MrsSMH - nice namechange! oh go on then, it is pretty impressive!
I know what you mean - I have work to do as well rather than playing on MN but the siren call of the Threads I'm On is difficult to ignore...

I get the "Lifeboat" magazine, and ds gets "Storm Force" - he has had his illustrated story published in it!

ooh burnsified, i'm envious of your spinoff sub. i used to sub to selvedge the most impossibly poncetastic, but irresistably beautiful, mag about fabric. but i never actually had the time to read it - have a year's worth of back issues i still haven't got round to - so have reluctantly cancelled. am thinking of doing a textiles degree in which case i could completely justify it again [wistful]

The Quilters Guild magazine, which isn't as niche as some of the magazines on here.
